Return of the 10th Circle Archmage

“Fu ha ha ha. It's funny.”

"Is not it?"

I went out of my personal office and told Chan-gyu Park, who was in the middle of writing, what had just happened.

“He doesn’t even care, how can he come to me and ask for help?”

Thinking about it now, it was really absurd.

‘If you had treated me that way in the past, you shouldn’t have thought of asking for my help for the rest of your life.’

No matter what he did when he was ignorant or immature, he still didn't seem to have changed much.

‘Right now, money is tight, so I’m just bowing my head, and eventually, when I can afford it again, I’m going to fight back like a black-haired beast.’

It was a video I didn't see.

He secretly took his parents' property and wasted it on gambling, so there was nothing more to see.

Chan-gyu suddenly had a good idea, so he grabbed his ballpoint pen and paper and began to write his something diligently.

“What are you writing?”

Chankyu answered my question with his eyes twinkling.

“I think what you just said is really good material. To use it in a novel.”

"what?"

I asked with a slightly puzzled expression.

“Originally, this is cider. Others can’t do it in real life and only see it in fiction.”

"okay?"

I do something almost every day.

‘Honestly, is my life now a daily life for Saida?’

In the past, I ate so much only sweet potatoes that I was thirsty. However, these days, I ate too much cider, and my stomach was burning with carbonation.

'Now I'm tired of this cider.'

At first, I felt good because I was drunk with the feeling of refreshing revenge, but now that I do it like this, I feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

'Next time, I'll have to ask Yu Jin-kwang or Park Tae-jin rather than face-to-face at all.'

Anyway, this didn't suit me well. There are two people who get along perfectly with that, so why do I even need to go out?

‘Anyway, I’m glad that Chan-gyu’s material was helpful.’

I just did it without thinking, and Chan-gyu got a lot of inspiration from it.

'Chankyu should have succeeded even one day sooner...'

Chan-gyu's novels were currently in progress up to eight volumes, but the number of views dropped a lot in the beginning, and now he is maintaining the paid 200-300 units.

‘Is it fortunate that the annual reading rate is still maintained?’

What is encouraging is that we have 400-500 readers who have been following us on a regular basis since volume 6-7.

So, Chan-gyu was writing for a long time without finishing it yet.

‘If I do well in the future, it will be of great help to Chan-gyu.’

Even because of Chan-gyu, I thought that I should be more active.*

“In order for us to survive the offensive of the tower, we must unite and fight as one.”

After the launch of Matop Electronics.

All the electronics industry, as well as telecommunication, machinery, and all industries were shaken up.

And, the fields that are facing the biggest inflection point are electronics and communication fields.

“How were you supposed to fight it?”

At the words of Jinsung Group Chairman Cha Dae-hoon, SC Telecom Chairman Choi Ki-min asked that.

Besides them, KC Telecom, LC Telecom, etc.

Conglomerates called Korea's three largest telecommunication companies were gathering around a quiet Hanjeongsik dinner and chatting with Chairman Cha Dae-hoon.

“Hasn’t everyone signed a communication contract with Matop Electronics yet?”

“No.”

“Neither are we.”

"We're not giving you permission to open the tower because those scumbags said they wouldn't give you a single rebate."

According to their answers, Matop has not paid any subsidies or sales incentives to the three major telecommunication companies.

-If you pay for that, the damage goes straight back to the consumers.

So-called, someone got the latest phone at a discount and bought it for 100,000 won, but someone said that the factory price was 1.1 million won.

talk will come out.

So, instead of paying for phone pals or telecommunication companies, Matop did a lot of various discount events on its own.

For example, a few percent discount on Matop electronic products on SNS, a few percent discount when purchasing with family or friends, a few percent discount when volunteering at a designated volunteer service center, etc. There were many people buying.

“We neither can nor do we want to understand the policies of the Mato.”

Choi Jin-ki, chairman of SC Telecom, distorted his expression and muttered like that.

In fact, from the time it was first released, most of the distribution of mobile phones was done by telecommunication companies. This is because, as the name suggests, it was a communication device for ‘communicating’ with other people.

So, in order to secure the opening distribution network for each telecommunication company, they secured an agency through an octopus method, and then organized and expanded the sales outlets below that.

After all, cell phone manufacturers have had to pay huge amounts of money and rebates to telecommunication companies from the old days.

However, Matop simply chewed on such an official behind-the-scenes transaction and went out in a ‘my way’ way.

“If Mapap continues to come out like that in the future, there won’t be any Mapap phones opened in Korea.”

At the words of SC Telecom Chairman Choi Jin-ki, other telecommunication company presidents as well as Cha Dae-hoon nodded with a happy smile.

'done.'

after······.

Cha Dae-hoon was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

‘If we can stop them from opening their cell phones, it will definitely have a huge impact on sales.’

Currently, all smartphones sold by Matop Electronics have been ‘temporarily suspended’.

The official answer from the tower.

-The opening is being delayed because negotiations with telecommunication companies are currently in progress.

it was

Still, consumers bought matop phones while using their current phones, saying, “I will wait for the opening.”

It was expected that the opening permits of matops, consumers, and telecommunication companies would fall within 1-2 weeks.

However.

-Matop Electronics VS three major mobile carriers. fiery confrontation.

-Matop Electronics cannot provide any subsidies to mobile carriers. You can't even engrave the logos of each carrier on your mobile phone... you just open it

-3 major mobile carriers, completely disallow the opening of matop phones. 'If we open it, we lose too much'

-Matop phone, is it still sold even though it hasn't been opened? Consumers say, 'I will wait until the opening'

-In the end, a head-to-head confrontation between Matop and the mobile operator over the rebate?

Matop smartphone is connected not only to the competitiveness of the smartphone itself, but also to all electronic devices produced in Matop.

However, if a strong blow was applied to that important key link, the strengths of other products were naturally fading.

Then, it soon led to a hit in sales.

‘If we stop the Matop smartphone, our Jinseong can survive.’

Who is carrying a cell phone that can't even be called? Of course, the Matop smartphone is an excellent device to the extent that it is called a miniature computer, but in the end, the communication function was paralyzed, and it was a steamed bun.

‘Heh heh. Lee Joon-hyuk, we'll see how it turns out this time.'

Dare to put Yoo Jin-kwang at the forefront and give me a disgrace?

Cha Dae-hoon had previously visited the Matop Group, and he smiled sinisterly as he recalled his memories of being humiliated by Eugene Kwang.

‘This is just the beginning, Junhyuk Lee.’

Recently, Jinsung Group joined the common front by allied with other overseas IT companies.

Annual sales of 300 million units.

To protect the IM (IT & Mobile Communications) division, which accounts for 34% of sales in the electronics division.

Jinseong has joined hands with all the powerful in the world.

And like Sojin in the Warring States period, he formed the “Anti-Matop” coalition.

As if the six dynasties, Zhao, Yan, Qi, Wei, Han, and Cho, who faced the Qin dynasty, united their forces, the book of Yeonhoeng (連橫) was opened.

'Let's run wild for once. I'll keep my eyes open and see if it goes as you want this time.'

In the case of Matop, Jinsung Group was holding hands, but since Jinseong moved directly in the ‘Republic of Jinseong’, Matop had no choice but to be restricted in its movement.

In addition, all the 'IT companies' around the world who felt the crisis formed the Anti-Matop Alliance to condemn and check the monopoly of the Matop.

*

“Are the carriers still not allowing us to open our cellphones?”

“Yes, chief.”

I called Nam-ryong Jeong, the president of the company, to have a separate working-level meeting regarding the Matop smartphone.

“Why?”

It is true that I designed the product and completed the production facility, but the sales strategy and publicity were entirely left to the people below.

However, a strange rumor has been heard recently.

There are rumors that even the three major domestic telecommunication companies and the low-cost telecommunication companies that borrow frequencies do not open Matop smartphones.

“Because of the rebate.”

“Rebate? Ah······!"I tilted my head at the word “rebate”, then felt frustrated at the thought that flashed through my head.

“Isn’t that what the telecommunication company is asking for a pochi?”

“We have informed our dealership stores nationwide that if we do not provide sales subsidies or incentives, we will either deny the opening of the store or refuse to display the product itself.”

“Hey, that’s right…….”

it varies

I didn't intend to mess with them in the first place, so I didn't give them any rebates or anything like that.

If you do the same thing with the rebate, consumers will have to pay a 10-20% fee to the agency for each monthly fee, bribe the telecommunication company separately and ask them to sell it.

In the end, they had no choice but to blindly raise the factory price in an aung manner and deceive consumers with false discounts.

However, even if we didn't give them anything, people lined up to buy our smartphones.

A telecommunications license granted by the government to each telecommunications company.

These guys from the telecommunication company were holding it as if they were in power, and they were openly threatening to bribe us, the cell phone maker.

‘I’ve been through this before too.’

In the past, when I was attending public school, I urgently needed a cell phone to go to practice at another company.

So, without knowing anything, I went to the dealership with my parents and was ripped off.

‘I bought a cell phone that other people gave me for free, and I paid 400,000 won, and the plan was expensive because of the nonsensical reason, so I signed a three-year contract.’

ordinary people who don't know anything.

Moreover, customers who were first exposed to such scams had no choice but to do what their phone followers said.

If you don't know, that's what happens.

'Because even these days, such atrocities by phone followers have not gone away...'

Distributors subordinated to each telecommunication company and dealers subordinated to the agency again.

And the employees who work under agencies and telecommunication companies.

In order to get as much money as possible from the incentives from the head office, so-called 'phone followers' ate their backs on consumers and especially ripped off the elderly who are their parents.

'In the meantime, telecommunication companies and manufacturers have been screwing up and beating consumers a lot.'

In the original mobile phone subsidy, only the ‘legal subsidy’ stipulated in the terms and conditions should exist.

However, these guys used an expedient way to fight with manufacturers, absurdly raise the factory price from the original price, and offer completely different prices to each consumer with various subsidies and subsidies.

‘Besides, as a rare and crazy law called the Dantong Act was passed, consumers were legally ripped off.’

The Dantong Act was a crazy law that limited discounts and overcharged consumers with almost the same factory price.

In other words, legal rip-offs became possible. In the end, the people were doubly deceived and suffering because of the strange crazy laws.

‘Anyway, I was going to meet President Choi Jong-hwan today for work, but it turned out well.’

I made up my mind to discuss this matter with the president and resolve it, and I opened my mouth again.

“Don’t worry if the carriers say they won’t open it.”

"Yes?"

President Nam-ryong Jung opened his eyes at my words. To him looking at me with a worried expression.

“If you don’t do it there, we’ll just have to open a new carrier.”

“··········!”

announced a new business.
